the details
Saturday, May 14, 2011 by Paige Balcer
As a new mom, the days and nights tend to blend together into a constant flow of diapers, feedings and laundry. I am one month into the job and am realizing that taking care of a newborn is a much bigger task than one can ever prepare for, but the bright spots are also much brighter than I could have hoped for. I am learning how important it is to capture the details of my baby boy during these days where my memory seems a little foggy. I don't want to forget the tiny toes, soft skin and perfect lips of my little one because he already seems to be growing so fast.
I'm enjoying every tiny part and piece of my little guy these days. What kind of details are you focused on in your life?

Today - I'm focused only on that we've had our first day of sun in over a week. I don't want to forget how bright and dazzlingly bright it is:

I'm focusing on all the lovely changes and milestones as my little guy leaves the baby stage and moves steadily towards Big Boy. On a recent vacation, all I had was a point-and-shoot camera, but the last photo in the bunch held some magic...

After having three children, I knew that a newborn is so very very different than a one-year-old.
I made (in secret) a first-year album for my grandson seen here:

There are only two words for a baby's first year: enjoy and photograph.
Enjoy now; use the photographs to remember.

We're waiting for our own little miracle - our newest granddaughter is due to be born any day now.

Thanks for sharing :)

I don't have the opportunity to focus on little babies anymore, but I'm still enjoying the little details, even on the blades of crabgrass:

Like his mom, he loves discovering the natural world, and yesterday we discovered where dandelions get their magic.

Just a little something that belonged to someone I love and miss dearly.
